A man faces several charges including attempted murder and arson after deputies say set fire to at least one trailer, in Dayton on Sunday.
Lyon County deputies say they got a phone call from a woman who claimed a man screamed at her, took her camp fuel, threatened to burn her camp and then attacked her.
The man eventually left and returned to his camp near a water tower above Cemetery Road in Dayton.
